Volnay 1er cru Santenots du Milieu 2022 - Domaine des Comtes Lafon
From the wine estate
93/100 James Suckling
Tasting by William Kelley : "Revisited in bottle, the Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu 2022 opens in the glass with aromas of plums, sweet wild berries and spices, followed by a fairly full-bodied, fleshy and charming palate that is suave and integrated from the start."
Cellaring : 2025 - 2045
A refined Pinot Noir with great ageing potential
On tasting, Volnay Santenots du Milieu delivers a delicate, bewitching palette of aromas: ripe red fruits, violets, notes of undergrowth, with a mineral touch that is a sign of the terroir. On the palate, the balance between power, finesse and length is exceptional. The fine but present tannic structure allows it to age admirably. This Premier Cru can be cellared for 15 to 20 years, gaining in complexity over time. It goes perfectly with truffled poultry, mushroom risotto or tournedos Rossini. A jewel from Comtes Lafon, to be savored slowly.
